Fantasia whipped up a strawberry, pineapple, and coconut milkshake at Millions of Milkshakes at the Westfield Culver City Shopping Mall on Thanksgiving Eve before her show at Club NOKIA in downtown Los Angeles. Her daughter Zion tagged along, posing for photos with her mom and assisting her behind the counter.

“This is Zion, my daughter, and I keep her with me now ’cause she’s the best thing for me to have right now,” said Tasia, who attempted suicide earlier this year. “Thanksgiving is coming… Truly I’m just thankful to be here. After all that I’ve been through, I still have joy. It doesn’t matter anymore because we have to learn how to live our lives for us. We can’t please everybody.”
